Reunião do dia 23 na Cinemateca. Reunion of the 23rd at the Cinematheque.
Apontamentos da reunião de dia 23 de Outubro na Cinemateca
Fomos quatro à reunião de sexta-feira na Cinemateca. Para além de mim,
estiveram o Olaf Veerman, o Hernâni de Freitas, e o João Melo, que
veio de Coimbra.
Feitas as apresentações falamos da percepção do Drupal em Portugal e
do mercado luso de desenvolvimento web (frontend e backend). O
panorama não é animador. Mas o Drupal tem possibilidades de ser uma
solução de referência cá, como já é lá fora. Sabe-se que a psique lusa
precisa de ver "lá fora" primeiro para depois acreditar em que cá
também se faz.
Nessa tonalidade o caso da Vodafone Portugal com uma instalação de
OpenAtrium para fazer uma gestão de conhecimento entre grupos de
trabalho dentro da Vodafone. Se bem me lembro, a solução inicial
incluia o MediaWiki, mas neste momento é puramente Drupal.
O Hernâni falará com muito mais propriedade que eu sobre o assunto, uma vez
que foi ele quem desenvolveu a plataforma.
A reunião acabou por durar mais de 5h. Continuámos a conversa ao
jantar.
Sobre o Drupalcamp Lx. As ideias a serem desenvolvidas:

Conclusões e questões em aberto depois da reunião virtual do dia 18 no
IRC (#drupal-pt).
-
O Drupalcamp será em Lisboa no próximo ano. Idealmente antes do
Drupalcon US e numa data suficientemente afastada do
Drupalcamp Espanha. -
O evento terá a duração de um dia com sessões em inglês e
português. As sessões em português serão introdutórias para
aumentar a percepção do Drupal em Portugal: evangelizar. As sessões
em inglês serão mais avançadas e a ideia é atrair pessoas de fora. -
O evento decorrerá durante um fim-de-semana para poder ser
"vendido" também como um evento turístico para quem venha de fora
de Lisboa e de Portugal. -
Foi adquirido o domínio drupalcamp-pt.org. Há agora que tratar de
desenvolver o site. O Drupalcamp de Lx fica em
lx2010.drupalcamp-pt.org e outros eventos que haja, por exemplo um
drupal meetup no Porto ou em Coimbra ficariam respectivamente em
porto-meetup2010.drupalcamp-pt.org
coimbra-meetup2010.drupalcamp-pt.org.

Read more Proposed Local Group Page for GDO
Proposal: The front page of GDO needs links to static pages that offer information and/or assistance to users. These static pages would not exist within a specific group and would not be open for commenting. These are informative pages with useful links.
In this Wiki I would like to see us collaborate on the contents of this "local groups" page. As the page develops we may find new directives for the page and we may even discover that it needs to be split off into multiple pages. - dougvann

DrupalCamp Dallas 2009 a Success!

Camp/Conference formula for Drupal
With over 500 camp attendees and 60+ session proposals, us organizers of Drupal Camp LA needed a Drupal site that was built for organizers and attendees, with lessons learned from 3+ DrupalCons & 2+ DrupalCamps. Here is our formula for our awesome camp site.
"DrupalCampLA.com was built on Drupal 6 using core & contributed modules to handle event registration, sponsorship management, featured speakers, user bio's, and session proposals. The website features an attendee driven event schedule where members propose sessions and only registered members pick which sessions they'd like to see (in the BarCamp style). Planning the schedule for the day of events has been made flexible enough to allow organizers to maintain a master schedule with ease. Not to mention that all attendees get their own schedule view with the sessions they pick."
"The web site was based on the latest Drupal 6.x release and utilized many of the current generation modules such as CCK for content customization, imagefield and imagecache to handle imaging Views & custom theming built on Zen for content presentation." (A full list of the modules used is in the case study - http://drupal.org/node/519100 )
The download link is available in the case study post - http://drupal.org/node/519100 and has been made available by LA Drupal & This By Them.
